Hey I like this idea quite a bit. It can be with dark matter or it can be of the question where did energy originate from, there are countless things that scientists don't understand these days. There might be other universes out there in another dimension for all we know. People have been doing this for centuries, explaining what they did not understand as something that God has done. I think that there is a God out there, or something that has created all of this. However I do not believe that he is an ever present God guiding our actions. I have a large opinion on all of this but I can't really put my belief set into words easily. And even if there is not a God I think that the values that religion brings us should be kept. Religion is a good thing overall in my opinion.
I think that this is a wonderful piece of literature by isaac asimov describing how the universe could have been formed. Hey who knows.
